...campaign strategy needed to be overhauled. At a 2½-hr. shirtsleeved meeting with his top political aides on Sunday, he decided to give the task to his closest adviser, White House Chief of Staff Hamilton Jordan. Jordan accordingly joined the re-election committee as deputy to Chairman Robert Strauss. As Jordan's successor in the White House, Carter named Jack Watson, 41, the former Atlanta lawyer who managed the President's transition team in 1976 and since then has served as presidential assistant for intergovernmental relations and secretary to the Cabinet...
...long-stemmed can-can dancers kick, whirl and cartwheel, split, shimmy and pirouette to Offenbach's rollicking La Vie Parisienne. In a reverse striptease, a comely Victorian lass in black stockings and garter belt dresses up in corset and crinoline for a grand occasion orchestrated by Strauss.

When King does attempt his own thesis, applying not only Freud, but Hegel, Weber, Neitzshe, Levi-Strauss, and Marx to the Southern burden, his grandiose designs appear pretentious at best, silly at worst. Almost randomly, King inserts short paragraphs alluding to Levi-Strauss's Elementary Structures of Kinship to back up his thesis on incest as repetition. King is not afraid, unfortunately, to make sweeping one-line statements about Freud's memory theories or characterize, without explaining, Cash as the "Weberian ideal type." King incessantly refers to these sociological and psychological giants with college freshman zeal: proud of his discovery...
